Save your money

This used to be a nice course but has gotten so bad over the years. Literal holes in some of the greens where disease has spread. Also, why put tee boxes on side sloping areas? It doesn’t seem like they have maintenance crew. If they do they are poorly funded or incompetent. Luckily there are many better course that are less expensive than Avalon in the area.

Nice greens. Friendly staff

Course is in good condition year round. Staff is very nice and don’t push you to finish and bring your cart back before dark. I usually always get a twilight time and there’s almost nobody else playing.

I was paired with two players

I was paired with two very positive players. We played efficiently and had a great time. We had a frost delay of about two hours. Once the starter directed us to the 1st hole I found the course to be in great condition. I look forward to playing this course again.

I liked the layout of this course.

Due to the cooler temperatures, there were not a lot of people on the course. The clubhouse paired me with
two players that were great golfers so we could play the course efficiently.
I liked the layout of the course and we kept our balls on the fairway. The houses were spaced far enough away from the course so there wasn’t a danger of ending up out of bounds.
They do a great job taking care of this course. I look forward to playing this course again.

Great course in Knoxville area

Course layout was one of the best around as it winds through hills in neighborhood. Nicely sized fairways with lined trees and strategically placed sand traps add challenging play. All greens and fairways in outstanding condition. Some great view of the eastern Tennessee mountains on several holes. Very nice staff at the clubhouse.

Top quality Golf / Country Club in Lenoir City TN

Great golf course layout with hilly terrain. greens and fairways were in excellent shape for nearing the end of October 2024. Course is always maintained and manicured well. Great starter interaction if required. Friendly restaurant staff and menu selection.

Avalon Country Club

One of the best courses I have ever played while also having one of the best scenic views in the country. Never seen a better playing surface than the one they have at Avalon. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes were in perfect condition. Very easy to get to and very friendly people. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Tennessee area looking to play. Don’t have one complaint, Avalon was perfect.

Blown away by the course for the price!!

The only negative I could say about this course is the fairways were a little hard packed making for tough fairway approach shots. EVERYTHING else was fantastic! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Starter was great at politely enforcing the tee times and gave us great course advice as first timers. Greens are quite difficult but play true, GPS carts, free range balls and BEAUTIFUL scenery. Quite a few difficult blind shots, I wish I could play this course every week!

Great course

Course is in fantastic condition. Staff was incredibly friendly. A group 2 ahead of us had seemingly joined a group of 2 and 3 together and were really holding up the pace of play. There were times that two groups were on the tee box waiting for them. They were also a bit reckless as they turned a cart over in the fairway.
